The Board of Trustee's screening committee for a college president has been hard at work narrowing the number of candidates down from seven to four. The seven prospective presidents who have submitted their applications and letters of recommendation are; Sr. Ing rid Anderson, Sr. Mary Aussen-dorfer, Sr. Linda Callser, Sr. Cristen Malloy, Sr. Coleman O'Connell, Sr. Emanuel Ren-ner, and Sr. Dolores Super. The sisters have already had an interview with the committee and have had their dossiers sent to each member.

The screening committee consists of Board of Trustee members who have no conflicting interest in the matter as none of them are faculty members. Bob Woody is chairperson of the Board of Trustees and Helen Wick is chairperson of the screening committee. The qualities they are looking for in Dr. Miller's successor revolves around the notion that they will be able to promote the Benedictine philosophy throughout the school, both internally and in the external image CSB presents. A survey conducted among the students, faculty, administration, the convent, and

parents helped to establish guidelines for the evaluation of the candidates. The date compiled from these groups ranked the qualifications of efficiency, knowledge of administration, understanding of legalities, etc., as a common concern in the surveyed groups.

Laura Szalacha, student body president, has served as an auditor in the selection process. Her role has been merely to serve as "ears" on the committee for she cannot propose any motions, yet she has been treated with respect by the Board of Trustee members and has been unofficially

VA DANCES: Social Change

by Joyce Rajala

"Our goal is to increase awareness, involvement and participation in VA Dances/' stated CSB sophomore Joann Link, who is currently working on such a project.

Link, along with Lorie Reller, is involved in trying to create a social change regarding Veterans' Administration (VA) dances. This project is a part of their Special Topics and Social Change Agents course, taught by George Gottfried. Link's involvement in the VA lies in the fact that she worked at the hospital during January and met many of the residents.

According to Link, she and Reller will be using many different ways to increase

student awareness of this activity, including airing advertisements over KSJU Radio, distributing mail notices and posters and talking with other students and S. Jeremia Januschka for input. S. Jeremia, along with M.K. Dahl and Steven Gish from the VA coordinate the dance program. Dances are held nearly every Tuesday evening at the VA Hospital auditorium. CSB students are transported to and from the dance by van. The dances involve not only dancing, to either live band or records, but also socializing with the patients. Link stated that these social activities are important to the men in the fact that they will learn about forming good relationships.

They will be able to "have girls for friends," she added.

Link estimated that an average of about 40 men attend the dances compared to only about 11 girls. She feels that the most difficult part of her project will be getting students to go to the dance for the first time. The reactions by students who have attended have been favorable. "They love it," because they get to know many nice people, Link noted. The same is true for the residents.

Social Work majors are especially benefitted by these volunteer opportunities, as are Nursing and Psychology Majors. The experience gained from the VA dances is valuable to all students, Link concluded.

called upon to give a student's opinion at various times. She has found this to be a very interesting and unique experience for it is unlike most competitive job markets. The sisters applying for the job perceive it as an opportunity to serve the community in a different way. There is no high competition among them at all. They are happy to retain their positions if not selected as president. Ms. Szalacha feels this is indicative of a religious community. She also said, "The board has made every effort to be very conscientious and has shown great concern about choosing someone who is going to care and do a good job."

Voting for the candidate was scheduled for June 9th, but a special meeting of the Board of Trustees called for April 27th will probably bring about an earlier than expected decision on the finalists. Dr. Miller will assist in the transition between herself and the incoming president.

A Faculty and Staff Assembly will be held prior to the voting on April 27th in the HAB auditorium at 4:00. Candidates will be available to answer questions at that time. Students are welcome to come and ask questions at that time. Students are welcome to come and ask questions at this session also. The board will partially base their decision on the feelings of the faculty which will be brought out at this meeting.

Payment

Deadline

Nears

by Nancy Przymus

There is a rumor circulating around CSB: due to the tuition increase more housing will be available and the Advanced Payment deadline is therefore less important than it has been in years past. Wrong! According to Jim Koenig, Assistant Director of Student Accounts, advanced payments are coming in as heavily as last year. He warns that students are filing in great numbers and unless you act before April 18 you are not guaranteed on-campus housing for next year.

For those who do not need on-campus housing it is still vital that the April 18 deadline be met with the registration fee. Should a student decide to wait with her registration fee of fifty dollars, her package this summer will be late. Also for those who will be off campus next year due to the overseas study programs, the one hundred dollar registration and program fee is due on or before April 18. Call Sue Hughes, Overseas Study Director, regarding any questions.

Events

Planned

The week of April 2-6 has been designated National Foreign Language Week. The purpose of this declaration is "to promote wide public participation in the President's Commission on Foreign Language and International Studies," (ACTFL) set up a few months ago.

CSB's language faculty will celebrate the week by setting up special exhibits in the continuing education center. On Tuesday, April 3, SJLTs language faculty and the upper division language students from both colleges are invited for an informal gathering. On Friday, April 6, the language faculty will host CSB's faculty at the TGFF. Both gatherings will take place in the continuing education center. At both, students who have been abroad will share photographs of their overseas experiences and slides of France, Germany and Spain will be projected continuously.

The food service on campus will cooperate in the celebration by serving some foreign dishes during National Foreign Language Week.
